I am trying out painting the plastic parts to see how is best, i am practicing on the black U pipe from the resonator. I bought Dupli - Color Aluminum (it matches the aem color perfectly) I did 3 coats and it kinda looks ok. I did learn one thing DON'T FORGET TO SAND!! some spots the paint kinda rolled off and didn't stick. tommarrow i will post pics. I hope that really coating your intake pipes really will help reduce the temp of inside air.

 

I remember when I got my first intake. Our little Ricky is growing up so fast.

Your sig hurts my eyes :fawk:

 

Well while we're strolling down memory lane, I remember my short ram...it hydrolocked my damn car.

 

how the hell did a short ram hydrolock your car??
Man my name is Bryan, you don't watch the Chappell show?? maybe i'll have to chage the color. i had to change it because they took away the "in the butt".

 

well no pics today. my boss (my dad) told me that since i was sick on monday and didn't go to work i had to come in today before my class, which happens to be my car time :angry:

 

OSX,
any special methods to cleaning the engine bay? I was gonna go at it with simple green and use a pressure sprayer, carefully avoiding electrical connections. :chuckles:

 

When i worked at a car wash, they sprayed a de-greeser inside the whole bay. It didn't do to much for mine, osx engine bay is really clean, me want :drool:

EDIT: Man i feel like a tard, i just reallized that tube that came with my intake was susposed to replace the stock crank case tube. to bad i cut it up :sad: i'm so dumb :wtc:

 

Yeah, OSX's is pretty clean... I think I'm right there with him, though.

The two keys to a clean underhood? 1. Orange Blast. 2. Live in Cali.

 

Spray everything with simple green, and then get a hose or pressure washer. And if you have a short ram, you'd better take off the filter and stuff the pipe with towels or you'll be in trouble later.

 

I finnished painting my cheap ole intake, friday i will put it back in and see if it looks better and put up some pics
